so looking at the tip found here:
http://www.tech-recipes.com/bourne_shell_script...

:oops: works as long as you do not try and remove element 0. Look at just this part:
${array[@]:0:$i}
and you will notice the array is rebuilt using items 0 through $i. The 0 will cause element 0 to stay in the array even if i=0
Does anyone have a better fix than this:

#remove i from array
if [ $i -ne 0 ]; then
	array=( ${array[@]:0:$i} ${array[@]:$(($i + 1))} )
else
	array=( ${array[@]:$(($i + 1))} )
fi
